Treasure Island in the Summertime

Here's what I like about the island in summer time--in no particular order.......

Big Sky

Big Yard

Nice Accents

Surprises

Planters Just Coming In

Funky Stuff

The Back Gardens

Bird Baths

Flowers by the Water

Crazy People Doing Crazy Things

Places for Loafing

 

You Get the Picture!

Water Plants Just Starting

The Big Main Pier

And Old Glory to Top it Off

SUMMER'S HERE

It was a statement first made in 1911--and it still holds true today.  One picture is worth a thousand words.  The calendar may say "Spring" but we all know better.  Here are some pictures of Lake Manitou taken from Treasure Island on Memorial Day weekend.

A Rare Visit

This swan came by a couple of days ago.  He was just off the point deck.  They are pretty shy when it comes to boating traffic.  We see a lot of them just before the ice forms, and very early in the Spring.  He picked the right time to visit, after a bass tournament and before the pleasure boaters came out.  Hope to see more of him--but we aren't holding our breath.

She's No Dummy

Why yank your own feathers out when you can use some of Daisy's genuine goose down from her old nest?  Here is a sparrow busy with her own nesting plans.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

6 For 6

Shows you what I know.  I never thought the first two eggs would hatch.  They were unattended for at least three hours in 24 degree weather when first laid.  I guess Daisy knew they'd be OK. 

You Know How It Is ...

First born gets all the photographs!  Congratulations to Duke and Daisy.  This was a few hours ago, now there are four--we'll keep you posted.
